Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $80M raised. Still early.

About This Role

Most frontend roles ask you to ship features. This one asks you to ship features and build the system that lets QEs, PMs, and designers ship them too - safely, independently, with AI as the connective tissue. The Manifest engineering team already runs on AI-assisted workflows. The infrastructure exists in pieces. You'll complete it, maintain it, and raise the ceiling on what each function can do without engineering in the loop. AI is not the tool you use on the side. It is the medium you work in, and the capability you extend to everyone around you.

If you're early in your career and the most interesting question you have right now is "how do I build leverage for a team, not just output for myself?" - keep reading.

What will you own

You own the frontend - not just the code you write, but the system that lets everyone around you contribute to it. That means building features, and it means building the workflows, conventions, and guardrails that let QEs test independently, PMs contribute safely, and designers move from design to something real without waiting in a queue.

The measure of success here is not your personal output. It is how much the team around you can do because of what you built.

Concretely, that looks like:

• The shared AI conventions that keep tooling output consistent across the codebase, whoever is driving
• A skills library that encodes Angular patterns, API contracts, and business logic into workflows anyone on the team can invoke
• Safe zones and guardrails that let non-engineers contribute without creating engineering cleanup
• Design-to-code workflows that unblock designers without dev involvement
• A feedback loop with QEs, PMs, and designers - you hear where things break and you fix them

What success looks like

30 days. You've mapped the frontend architecture and the current cross-functional AI workflows. You know where the codebase is strong, where debt sits, and where QEs, PMs, and designers are getting stuck or falling back on engineering. You have a point of view on what to fix first.

90 days. The skills library has grown. QEs are generating test scaffolds from specs without filing requests to engineering. PMs are making frontend contributions inside defined safe zones with confidence. Designers have a clearer path from Figma to something testable. AI tooling output across the team is more consistent because of conventions you put in place.

6 months. Cross-functional AI workflows are a genuine productivity multiplier - not a set of experiments. Feature cycles are shorter because more of the team can move through more of the process independently. The frontend itself is faster, more reliable, and better structured. Saige and Explore's AI surfaces feel like first-class product experiences, not features the frontend barely holds together. The engineers, QEs, PMs, and designers working in this system are glad you built it the way you did.

About You

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience

Experience

• 1–3 years of hands-on Angular experience - real projects you've built and shipped, even if not at large scale
• Solid TypeScript fundamentals and genuine curiosity about how the browser works as a runtime
• Active fluency with AI-assisted coding tools in your day-to-day work - you use them seriously, not occasionally
• The instinct to think about how your work affects the people around you, not just the ticket in front of you
• A communicator who can hold a useful conversation with a designer, a QE, or a PM - and follow through without being chased

Strong nice-to-haves

• Any exposure to AI-facing UIs - streaming output, recommendation surfaces, or agent interfaces - even in side projects
• Experience or genuine interest in developer experience: documentation, shared patterns, making codebases easier for others to work in
• Early signs of cross-functional thinking - instances where you made something easier for a non-engineer, even informally

Why Manifest

We're building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility - the rails that move students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Cialfo is in 2,000+ schools. Explore is trusted by 1,000+ universities. BridgeU runs across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Kaaiser has guided students across India and Southeast Asia since 1997.

The opportunity is real. $700B flows annually in remittances from migrant workers. 85M workers will be missing from developed economies by 2030. We're building the operating system that changes that.

$80M raised from Tiger Global, SIG, and Square Peg. Still early.

The team has already built the infrastructure for AI-native engineering - shared conventions, a live skills library, AI-assisted workflows across engineering, QE, product, and design. Saige is in production. Explore's AI capabilities are in production. This isn't an aspiration we're hiring you to bring to life. It's an operating system we're hiring you to extend, scale, and make permanent.

• Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an understanding of concepts like parameterization in performance testing.

Leadership & Soft Skills:

• Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to curate the right level of content for different audiences, from developers to senior leadership.

• Strategic Thinking: Ability to connect dots between complex business challenges and technical solutions, collaborating with architects and other subject matter experts to drive results, moving beyond a siloed approach.

Consultancy & Business Acumen:

• Client Leadership: An assertive and confident approach to client engagement, with the ability to act as a trusted advisor and stand your ground effectively on large, complex projects.
• Commercial Mindset: Strong commercial acumen, comfortable discussing business drivers like cost and ROI, and an eagerness to contribute to business development activities.

If you know some of this, even better:

• Deeper eCommerce Expertise: Proven experience in performance testing and analysis of e-commerce applications, preferably with platforms like IBM WebSphere Commerce, SAP Hybris, or Magento, or SFCC Sports.
• Broader Stack Exposure: Experience with SRE practices, caching/CDNs, containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), or infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) from a performance perspective.
• Continuous Delivery Integration: Experience implementing performance testing and performance gates in CI/CD pipelines, including test automation, environment strategy, and integration with observability tooling.

The opportunity:

We're looking for a Lead QA Engineer to be the technical authority on complex accounts. This is a hands-on technical leadership role—you'll architect automation frameworks, solve the hard problems, and set the technical direction for QA on your engagements, as well as being an active member of the QA community.

You're the person the team turns to when things get complicated. You've built automation from the ground up, you understand the trade-offs, and you know how to design solutions that scale. You lead through expertise—raising the bar technically and helping others grow through mentorship and demonstration.

You're also an innovator. You're actively using AI tools to accelerate your work and you're thinking about what's next—whether that's self-healing tests, smarter automation, or new approaches to quality. You don't just follow best practice; you help shape it.

And beyond the technical, you're a confident communicator who can hold your own with senior client stakeholders—explaining approaches, trade-offs, and recommendations to influence decisions at a project level.

What you’ll be doing:

• Be the technical lead for QA on complex engagements—owning test strategy and the automation approach
• Architect, build, and evolve automation frameworks that others can rely on and contribute to
• Own and solve the hard technical problems—test architecture, flaky tests, CI/CD integration, environment issues
• Set the technical direction for QA on your accounts—tooling, approach, and structure
• Drive shift-left practices, embedding quality into requirements, design, and development
• Design and execute test strategies across UI, functional, integration, API, accessibility and regression testing
• Mentor and elevate QA engineers through hands-on collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Innovate with AI—using modern tools to work smarter and exploring what's next for QA
• Communicate technical recommendations and trade-offs to clients and internal teams
• Participate in client-facing forums—demos, triage, release calls, and technical discussions
• Contribute to a specialism and share knowledge across the wider QA community

What we want from you:

• A clear track record in automation architecture and technical problem-solving
• Solid experience testing in complex, transactional environments
• Proficient in Playwright and TypeScript
• You've designed frameworks from scratch—not just written tests, but built the foundations
• Comfortable working across the full stack—Web apps, Native Apps, APIs, backends, logs, data
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf) and associated best practices.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and how testing fits into modern delivery
• Experience working within agile scrum environments on complex, multi-stream deliveries
• Confident communicating technical concepts to clients, developers, and stakeholders
• A genuine continuous learner—curious, experimental, always evolving
• Pragmatic and delivery-focused, but motivated by a good technical challenge

If you know some of this even better:

• Experience building AI-powered testing capabilities
• A QA specialism you're passionate about
• Experience working across distributed teams
• Contributions to tooling, frameworks, or knowledge sharing beyond your immediate team
